Apple Pandowdy

(pan DOW dee)

Now that apples are being harvested, try this all American dessert made with sliced apples, cinnamon and brown sugar or molasses, and topped with a biscuit dough. The dough is rolled out, but becomes crisp and crumbly after baking, similar to a cobbler. Some recipes call for the crust to be broken up with a spoon halfway through baking and pushed partially into the fruit.
